The article describes the current status of the field crop conclusions on innovative agricultural development and upgrading of crop production.

The progress of the agro-industrial complex is the key to successful economic development of the state as well as the steady functioning of the agriculture on the basis of science and technology achievements. Effective development of plant growing branch under modern conditions requires constant revealing and introducing of new technologies, improvement of economic relations between manufacturers and consumers of scientific products, formation of such a policy for agro-industrial complex development that is being based on the major provisions for transition of the country economy to innovative development. Nowadays the problem of scientific and technical progress in agriculture has been moved aside because of difficult economic situation, and innovative activity has been brought down. In this connection the development of the mechanisms for economic stimulation such as innovative projects necessitates their working out and introducing into production [1, p. 64].

One of decisive and effective factors for plant growing branch crisis management is the accelerated development of scientific and technical progress achievements along with best practices introduction. Under new economic conditions it is necessary to develop the strategy of mass development of scientific research in the agrarian sector of economy, aiming at conservation, ecological safety, high quality of production, production costs reduction [2, p. 17].

The realization of these plans becomes possible due to branch innovative processes activation, creating favorable conditions for developers and consumers of innovations, innovative activity organization and management methods improvement. However, effective implementation of industry-leading innovations is being complicated by underdevelopment of innovation infrastructure and unsatisfactory financial situation of most domestic producers [2, p. 22].

The process of innovation in crop production should be understood as the system of activities as for conducting the complex of scientific research and implementations for innovations carrying out, their development for maximizing revenue and enhancing the competitiveness of crop production on the basis of unit costs lowering and improving crop production quality providing rapid economic growth and expended industry reproduction [3, p. 9].

During the period of 2009-2011 years 2181 enterprises were engaged in innovative activities (i.e. 21.1% of total number of enterprises having been surveyed), which makes up 3.9% more than for the period of 2007-2009. The share of realized innovative products being new to the market of Ukraine made up 41.1% of total volume of innovative products having been realized or 1.6% of industrial (in 2010 it made up 32.6% and 1.3% accordingly)[1, p. 38].

The innovation process at the plant should be understood as a system of measures for conducting complex research and development to create innovations and their introduction in order to maximize revenue and improve competitiveness of crop production based on reducing unit costs and improving its quality to ensure accelerated economic growth and expanded reproduction in branch [1, p. 43].

The impact of the positive factors on dynamics degree and innovative development of agriculture, in particular, crop growing sectors are being revealed in such areas as: breeding and introducing new high-yielding plant varieties possessing economic indications; progressive industrial technologies working out and implementing as well as new machinery providing plant growing production transferring to innovative basis [3, p. 16].

Thus, the organizational and economic mechanism of development for innovative processes concerning plant growing sectors deals with the goals and objectives having been set for their development underlying in permanent organizational and economic, technical and technological renewal of crop production taking into account achievements of science and technology as well as world experience.
